The mission of the North American Riders Group is to unite professional riders and trainers to use their collective strength to make show jumping in North America the best in the world.

The North American Rider's Group (NARG) was founded in Lexington, Kentucky on September 24, 2008. Its founding members included Chris Kappler, McLain Ward, Beezie Madden, Norman Dello Joio, Jimmy Torano and Kent Farrington.

The NARG was founded to represent the viewpoints and interests of all riders, trainers and owners in equestrian sport in North America. The NARG focus is to encourage growth of equestrian sport by improving the quality of events and controlling costs. We effect change through constructive criticism and positive influence on our governing bodies through committee activities.

Our initial Senior membership fee is $250.00 and the yearly renewal fee is $125. We hope you will consider making an additional contribution to help us get the organization underway. You can do this by becoming a Founding Member for $2500.

The NARG also offers Junior Membership, as defined by the USEF, for an initial fee of $175.00 and a yearly renewal fee of $75. Membership fees cover a calendar year and are non refundable.Join Now

TOP 25

For six years, NARG has taken on the demanding task of evaluating, scoring, anddiscussing up to fifty events; and then developing our perspective on the Top 25 Horse Shows in North America. We feel a broad sense of accomplishment and are confident that this project played a role in the development of these events. As we’ve said before, our hats are off, not only to all the volunteers who help with the NARG Top 25, but to the efforts beyond ours that, when combined, most certainly improve our sport.The Top 25 of 2015
